[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over 85% of BU students rank in the top 10% of their class. Among students who submit test scores over half have a 33/1450+.

And yet only 44% submitted scores. Which is very hard to square with their data point that 85% are in the top 10% of their class. You would think those kids would have strong SAT scores. [/quote]

TO inevitably sees the 25th percentile scores jump up. It happened at every college, some more than others. Pre TO BU's test scores were lower but still very, very good. 25% of the class even at Harvard before TO got below a 1460. But suddenly a 1450 became a "bad" score. If you apply to BU, you read the tea leaves and leave out the 1450. This isn't unique to BU. NYU, Emory, Pomona, Tufts, Northeastern, BC, USC, Michigan, you name it, have all seen their 25 percentile scores rise to a level above Harvard's pre-TO.

Emory, and Umich have  over 65% submitted test scores. Not the same as the others that all have less than 50% , especially NYU at 25%. Also Emory's test scores are the highest. [/quote]
